There are about
300 fish species like Boal fish, Hilsa and Myanmar
Fish in Myanmar freshwaters. The
fish fauna here includes many peculiar fish
types. The fresh water fishes like Boal fish, Hilsa
and Myanmar Fish are generally found in the Indawgyi
Lake in Northern Myanmar. Inle Lake known for
its crystalline waters has other endemic species.
The Burmese word
for fish is Nga. Around 2000, Myanmar exported
26,900 tons of fish and prawn and export earnings
went up to 74 million US dollars. Myanmar's
annual fish production is over 9,10,000 tons
of fish and prawn. These are freshwater, as
well as deep sea fish. There are more than 40,480
hectares of fish and prawn breeding ponds in
Myanmar. The fishery industry forms a strong
backbone to the Myanmar economy. Therefore,
Myanmar's fishery resources, play a definite
role in the improvement of income and generation
of employment.
The long coast
line of Myanmar is 3000 kilometre and swamp
along the coast is about 1.5 million hectares
which serve as spawning, nursery and feeding
grounds for aquatic organisms and brakish water
fauna. A large amount of pelagic fish and demersal
fish exist along the continental shelf which
spreads over 228751 kilometres square.
There are three
distinct fishing zones: onshore, inshore, and
offshore. Freshwater fisheries consist of (a)
fish culture (b) leasable fish (c) open fisheries.
Marine fisheries have (a) inshore fisheries
(b) offshore fisheries. Onshore fishermen use
gears such as traps, stake net and cast net.
Fishing gear is dependent on the ebb and flow
of tide. In the inshore area fishermen use gilnets,
drift nets, shore seine, small long lines, hand
lines and cast nets. Hilsa is caught with a
gear called encircling gilnets.
Myanmar fish
is traditionally consumed in dried, salted,
fermented, sauce and paste form. Recently fish
exporters have made arrangements for ice making,
cold storage, processing and handling. Small
scale fishermen now carry ice and keep insulated
fish holes or carry ice boxes (provided by processors)
in their boats. Freshwater giant prawns are
cultivated here. Shrimp forms the most important
export. It accounts for nearly 50% of the export.
Lately some marine fish like Barramundi, Red
Snapper, Chinese Pomfret and Hairtail are being
exported. Australia is the main market. Frozen
shrimp is mostly exported to HongKong and to
the United States and dried shrimp to the far
east. In addition, Myanmar is one of the largest
producers and exporters of Rohu, Hilsa, Katla,
Mirgal, Ayer, Chital, Koi, Basa and Boal fish as
well as many other fresh and seawater fish varieties.
